Kira:  Hi Rob.Rob:  This is uncomfortable, I have to admit, to have you interviewing me. Obviously, we've done, I don't know, 200 and almost 70 episodes of this podcast and got to admit, I don't love being interviewed on my own podcast for some reason.

Kira:  Yeah, well, it's almost like you don't trust me.

Rob:  Maybe that's what it is. That's probably what it is. Wow, 28 seconds in and we've nailed it. We know exactly what's the problem here.

Kira:  I mean, we've had five years together in business and 270 episodes, but you still don't trust me. I don't know what else I have to do.

Rob:  Yes, I'm going to have to think about that. That's a question I don't think I can answer right now.

Kira:  I will be sick, sick that day. It'll be out sick.

Rob:  Yeah.Kira:  No.

Rob:  Trust who is the question now.Kira:  Let's kick it off with, okay, let's just start with some easy questions. We've been building TCC together over the last five years. So, I'm just curious, what are some of the big lessons you've learned from building this specific business?

Rob:  Yeah, when you told me you're going to ask me this, I'm still kind of trying to figure out what are the biggest lessons. I think, I mean, there's so many. But I think number one is when you build a business like this, and The Copywriter Club is different from you building a copywriting business or me building my copywriting business. Obviously, we're doing a lot of things together. And we're doing a lot of things that we probably couldn't do on our own.

And so, number one lesson, I think, is just having a partner allows you to do more because you can focus on different areas of the ...
